--------------------------------------------
The Church of S. Francesco to the Immaculate is one of the angles more scenograficis than the whole perspective scene of Noto, where architecture and urbanism find a happy match.
Built between 1704 and 1745 on project of the architects Vincenzo Sinatra and Rosario Gagliardi, with the attached ex convent (to a large extent university center) it is among the most imposing religious buildings of Noto.
In the harmonious façade, projecting on an imposing stairway to three ramps (of which an addition in the first ones of the 800, after the lowering of the road mantle), it detaches the beautiful portal flanked by artistic baroque columns and three niches, of which two to the sides and a smaller above the portal.
A 1787 artistic marmoreal statue of the immaculate one, in 1704 substitution of that calcareous it decorates the plan raised again before the convent.

Hello Maurizio,
Good managing of the light. The picture is sharp and well detailed. I like the POV with the steps leading to the beautiful church. The colour of the façace is really nice in contrast with the blue sky.
Best regards, Paul

Maurizio,
This is a well composed shot using the stairs to lead the eye into the shot. The angle of the shot works well creating depth and direction. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
